We demonstrate a novel synthetic route to fabricate a one-dimensional
peapod-like Sb@C structure with disperse Sb
submicron-particles encapsulated in carbon submicron-tubes.
The synthetic route may well serve as a gen ...

Interstitially filled skutterudites are a promising class of state-of-the-art thermoelectric
materials. Although thermoelectrics are exposed to significant thermal stresses, little
information is known about the fractu ...

A complete solid solution between the anion-deficient pyrochlore Ag₂Sb₂O₆ and the ideal pyrochlore Cd₂Sb₂O₇ has been synthesized through the standard solid state ceramic method. Each composition has been characterized by ...

Fusion excitation functions for the reactions of Sn-¹²⁴,Sn-¹³² with Ca-⁴⁰,Ca-⁴⁸ were measured at energies near and below the Coulomb barrier. Weak sub-barrier fusion enhancement accounted for by coupling to the first 2(+ ...

We, for the first time, employ magnesiothermic reaction to convert microwave-irradiated graphite oxide to pure graphene. The magnesiothermic reaction raises the carbon to oxygen atomic ratio from 22.2 to 165.7 and mainta ...

The growth of YMn₀.₃₅In₀.₆₅O₃ thin films and their optical and magnetic behavior are reported. The YMn₀.₃₅In₀.₆₅O₃ thin film grows along the (0001) orientation with hexagonal structure similar to YMnO₃ on c-plane sapphir ...

An enantioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 2-cyclo-hexene-1-one and azomethine ylide generated in situ from isatin and amino ester was developed by employing proline sulfonamide as the catalyst. Consequently, novel ...

The dipolar cylcoadditions of ortho-nitrophenyl alkynes with aryl nitrile oxides has been demonstrated. A range of substituents are tolerated on the alkyne. These reactions proceed with excellent levels of regioselectivi ...

A significant challenge for energy storage technologies is to realize battery-level energy density and capacitor-level durability and
power density in one device. By introducing an electrolyte composed of an anionic cat ...

Atmospheric measurements of semivolatile organic compounds (SOCs) were made at Mt. Bachelor Observatory (MBO), located in Oregon’s Cascade Range, to understand the trans-Pacific and regional transport of SOCs from urban ...

Historic and current use pesticides (HUPs and CUPs), with respect to use in the United States and Canada, were identified in trans-Pacific and regional air masses at Mt. Bachelor Observatory (MBO), a remote high elevatio ...

Carbon 1s photoelectron spectra for 2-butyne (CH3C CCH3) measured in the photon energy range from threshold to 150 eV above threshold show oscillations in the intensity ratio C2,3/C1,4. Similar oscillations have been see ...

Carbon 1s photoelectron asymmetry parameters β for the chlorinated and the methyl carbon atom of CH₃CH₂Cl, CH₃CHCl₂, and CH₃CCl₃ have been measured using synchrotron radiation in the 340-600 eV energy range. We provide e ...

We report on the effects of spin fluctuations, magnetic ordering, and external magnetic field on the
dielectric constant of the ferromagnet SeCuO₃, and the antiferromagnet TeCuO₃. A model based on the
coupling between ...
